Princess Nine is a fairytale of a cursed princess and her heroic struggle against unchangeable, cursed fate. An angry witch called Lorella had laid a curse on Princess Nine. When Princess Nine had cried inconsolably she had disturbed Lorella's sleep, and Lorella had decided to curse Nine. She had used an old nursery rhyme: as a curse: "Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon; the little dog laughed to see such a sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon." Lorella's curse was also a prophecy. When Princess Nine were able to find the missing plates and spoons then she would find her parents and live with them again. But until that day, she would continue crying. So begins this richly entertaining story of Princess Nine, who wants nothing more than to be able to find the plates and the spoons, her parents, and stop crying. Against a bold tapestry of elves, witches, harpies and other creatures, Nine's feisty account of her quest to break the curse is an enchanting fairy tale about an unforgettable heroine who is determined to find the cure and her birth parents.

'Who would ever have thought to live to hear Baron Friederich mention Eros I Well, we will hope that the god for once will be like the Salamander which is emblazoned, and carved o liberally, all over Amyot. We will hope the fire that feeds him may cot go out; but 1 am afraid the motto really means that what nourishes extinguishes.' With that she rose and took herself and her sunshade, with its point duchesse, and her marvellous gown with its cascades of lace and soft pale hues, like tea roses, her provocative languor, and her admirable grace, from the terraces of the Prince Ezarhgdine. She was followed hy longing eyes and a silence which was the truest of compliments. To more than one there, the sun had set whenever she had passed from their sight. 'What makes the world of men so fanatic about that woman?' asked Friederich Othmar, exhaling all the unspoken grievances of his own soul in a rude grumble, as the sound of the whirling wheels of her carriage died away. 'Why? Why? There are numbers more beautiful; few, perhaps, with so perfect a form, yet there are some who equal her even in that. She is as cruel as death, as cold as frost; no one ever saw a flush on her cheek or a tear in her eyes, and when she smiles it is like the sirocco and the north wind blent together; and yet there is no woman so blindly loved.' 'Yet!' echoed Prince Ezharhecline. 'Surely, you should say therefore." The sirocco and the north wind blent together are electric shocks to the most sated senses....
